Gallstone disease is a common gastrointestinal pathology that may result in surgical intervention. While cholecystectomy has relatively minimal risks, surgical clip migration is a rare complication that can cause severe morbidity and mortality. This report describes a rare phenomenon of a biliary stone forming onto a migrated surgical clip 14 years after cholecystectomy causing an obstructive jaundice. This case illustrates the importance of keeping a migrated surgical clip on the differential when encountering patients with symptoms of cholangitis after cholecystectomy.
胆结石病是一种常见的胃肠道疾病,可能需要手术干预。虽然胆囊切除术的风险相对较小,但手术夹移位是一种罕见的并发症,可导致严重的发病和死亡。本报告描述了一例罕见现象,即胆囊切除术后14年,一枚移位的手术夹上形成了胆结石,导致梗阻性黄疸。该病例说明了在遇到胆囊切除术后出现胆管炎症状的患者时,将移位的手术夹纳入鉴别诊断的重要性。
